The Hausgen House, a historic home, located on Walnut Lane in Anchorage, Kentucky, was constructed circa 1890 and is an example of the Colonial Revival design popular in eastern Jefferson County during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The home was built for H. Otto Hausgen by architect William B. Wood, known as Anchorage’s master builder.
The foundation of the home is constructed of local limestone; quarried from the nearby community of Peewee Valley, Kentucky. The two-story frame and weatherboard house has a hipped roof and a one-story veranda, which spans the entire main façade. The front entryway includes an elaborate front door with overhead fanlights and sidelights - a typical feature with the Colonial Revival styles of the period. The home also features a multiple columned porch distinctive to the style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 and has undergone significant renovations since that time.
